September 17, 2026Before asking how well our churches are working, we must ask what Christ designed His Church to become. Scripture presents the Church as Christ’s redeemed people—gathered to worship God, share life, pursue holiness, exercise their gifts, and grow toward maturity in Christ, then sent into the world as His witnesses. Programs, structures, and ministries can serve that calling beautifully, but they must never reverse the relationship and turn Christ’s people into resources for sustaining the institution.
August 20, 2026Children can benefit enormously from trustworthy adults beyond their parents. The challenge is learning how parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and other family members can steward their influence without confusing responsibility, competing for authority, or weakening the relationships they hope to strengthen.
August 6, 2026We can tell the truth and still fail to tell the whole truth—especially when the missing part makes us look worse. Whole-Truth Stewardship gives us a biblical, practical system for examining our stories, corroborating reality, owning what belongs to us, and becoming people who are safe for truth.
July 23, 2026Momentum cannot be commanded into existence. Leaders create the conditions in which it can develop. Learn how clarity, action, removing friction, meaningful small wins, recognition, credible confidence, repeated action, and larger wins allow today's progress to begin helping produce tomorrow's progress.
July 16, 2026When someone under our authority fails or wrongs us personally, our responsibility to love does not diminish. Faithful leaders exercise accountability without retaliation, protect others without abandoning dignity, and pursue a person's good even when difficult consequences are necessary.
July 9, 2026When someone tells a pastor that his conduct has caused harm, a justified decision does not settle the question of whether he acted faithfully. The pastor must hear the concern, examine his own conduct, repent where he has sinned, and continue caring for the person—even when trust takes time to rebuild.
July 2, 2026Domineering leadership does more than wound people. When telling the truth becomes expensive, people begin editing reality, Witnesses for Reality stop testifying, and leaders can become increasingly blind to what their leadership is doing to the people entrusted to them.
June 11, 2026God has entrusted us with words, and Scripture gives those words a purpose. They are to tell the truth, give grace, build people up, restore relationships, protect reputations, communicate gratitude, and express love. The Stewardship of Words explores how husbands and wives, parents and children, friends, and leaders can learn to love one another through what they say—and what they refuse to say.
May 21, 2026Preaching, teaching, shepherding, and leading overlap, but they are not the same competencies. Churches can easily mistake visible preaching ability for pastoral competence—and pastors can make the same mistake about themselves. Faithful stewardship requires leaders to recognize their personality propensities, develop what must be developed, delegate what should be delegated, and make sure the people entrusted to them are actually being shepherded well.
May 7, 2026Some couples do not need more information about marriage. They already know what Scripture, wisdom, counseling, and experience have taught them. The problem is that truth has not yet become consistent behavior. Knowledge can inform us, but only applied truth—practiced repeatedly—begins to transform the way we live and love.
